child of evil

 

but anyway thats what i wanna do...how do i get there?

Speed metal, Jazz, Blues etc. No matter what the style, there are two fool proof methods to get that sound you want...

 

1-Listen, listen, listen.

2-Practice, practice, practice.

 

Seems like a cop out I know, but it works.

I am a big proponent of self-teaching tools, especially DVDs since you can play them over and over again and they are easy to navigate.

 

I turned THIS PACKAGE up on Ebay.

 

Most of my shredder buddies in the 80s relied on VHS tapes to learn metal technique & theory. This might be a good place to start.

Not that you need my two cents on this EOY, but Mudcat has a good point. The DVD/VHS lessons are a great place to start, epecially since "normal" lessons can be quite expensive if you go often enough. FYI the VHS tapes were not around back when I started (at least that I noticed).

 

Best of luck!
